Versliste
and when I was present with you and was in want, I was not a burden on any man; for the brethren, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my want; and in everything I kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.
Rejoice always;
And not only so, but {Or, let us also rejoice}we also {Greek: glory. Verse 11; Hebrew 3:6.}rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh stedfastness;
and stedfastness, approvedness; and approvedness, hope:
and hope putteth not to shame; because the love of God hath been {Greek: poured out.}shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given unto us.
that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
and in the same manner do ye also joy, and rejoice with me.
for indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.
Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not irksome, but for you it is safe.
Rejoice in the Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice.
And ye yourselves also know, ye Philippians, that in the beginning of the {Greek: good tidings. See chapter 1:5.}gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church had fellowship with me in the matter of giving and receiving but ye only;
that in everything ye were enriched in him, in all {Greek: word.}utterance and all knowledge;
{Some ancient authorities read But your speech shall be.}But let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: and whatsoever is more than these is of {Or, evil: as in verse 39; 6:13.}the evil one.
whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
Ye are our epistle, written in our hearts, known and read of all men;
we are pressed on every side, yet not straitened; perplexed, yet not unto despair;
But thanks be unto God, who always leadeth us in triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest through us the savor of his knowledge in every place.
